Hi Michael,

Sorry for bringing this up again.  I hope you haven't forgot too much about the conversation now.

You say that I should see the logs "as of the current revision" of my working copy.  Well, that doesn't appear to be what I'm seeing here.  I show the first few log entries of the two commands below.

svn log .

- remove usage of RemoteBannerServer to fix a problem with log4j rotating
  the logs twice at midnight.  use of the RemoteBannerServer class
  implicitly loads the "static" logger, and therefore oros rmi rotates the
  log, but so does the nightly batch close.

- fix a bug in RARE circumstances that would cause OROS to not rollback the
  database transaction, after an error.  Then, entering payment information
  again would result in a duplicate student found error, because the
  current oracle session would already have that student.

  To my knowledge, this problem has NEVER occured.

  We fix the problem by catching Throwable.  Perfectly acceptable under
  these circumstances because this is a CRITCAL section.
***********LOGS***********

As you can see "svn log ." did not give me the latest revision logs, it gave me quite old revisions.  This is what I had been having a problem conceptualizing before.  I now know that I have to do @HEAD.

However, I am kind of curious what the logic was behind not showing my recent log information when not specifying @HEAD???  It certainly doesn't seem logical to me, as that is the basic information I would expect.

Thanks.
